Concert on the Square this Saturday

Posted in Events on September 6, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

COTS-Sept2013

Tomorrow marks the first Concert on the Square of the month and I am not kidding when I say that you DO NOT want to miss Atlanta Funk Society!  The show starts at 7pm and the weather is supposed to be beautiful-you may want to think about heading out to the Square , picking up some dinner to go, and staking out your spot on the lawn a little early. Besides amazing music, the Decatur Business Association will be doing raffles for prizes donated from local businesses, selling glow necklaces, and talking to the community about all of the cool things that the DBA does for Decatur.

Be sure to check in with the concert sponsors as well: Wells Fargo, the Decatur Downtown Development Authority, Jazzercise, and Consolidated Copier Services
